Walls of craftsmanship

"Real craftsmanship is about moving a venerated art form along the creative continuum – experimentally and completely by hand,” says Luigi Scarabelli, co-founder of Fabscarte. Working alongside Emilio Brazzolotto, the duo run their workshop with the input of emerging makers, to create captivating hand painted wallpapers and decorative wall paintings. The Fabscarte team is inspired by nature and art, blending materials, texture and colour to offer new possibilities for interior design. "We are driven by a desire to preserve an illustrious artistic legacy from Italy through reinterpretation," they share. The result is a collection of wallpapers that evoke the rich tapestry of Italian tradition, enlivened by contemporary aesthetics and a tactile dimension that is central to Luigi and Emilio's ethos towards craft.

INTERVIEW
We were both trained in classical decoration, and we like to combine all the traditional techniques with our knowledge of modern art, to create fake marble, fake wood, gilding, glazing and trompe l'oeil. This allows us a wide-ranging exploration of the unlimited potential of this decorative art.
For us, innovation cannot exist without a deep knowledge of traditional techniques, which express a continuum of the values of man. Behind the creation of a wallpaper there is a great deal of research and testing and the ability to draw new inspiration from one’s mistakes.
We create drawings, patterns and site-specific projects with some of the best international artists and designers. They are exclusive, four-handed collaborations, in which dialogue and interchange are essential ingredients.
The training of apprentices is a vital part of our work: we consider it a generational exchange, because they bring vitality, enthusiasm and creativity. In return we offer the ability to manage their creativity, as well as the wealth of knowledge that comes from 30 years of experience.
